getting list of directories on windows using ftp

is this possible ?

i want to get the complete path of current working directory and folders under that directory ( ignore the files in them ) on windows usingn ftp from a unix box

The reason i am asking is because I need to write a script so that whenever a user creates a folder on windows under a particular folder, it should automatically create the corresponding folder in unix something like folder mirroring.

Any ideas ?

Does ftp have the functionality to run find commands on windows ?
